Political INDICATIONS in New York are
by no means favorable to the democrats
of that State at the coming election there.
They induce the belief that the leaders d
the labor party, thoueh they assert they do
not care which Of the two old parties they
hurt, will throw the vote of their party so
that it sha. profit The republicans at the
expense of the democrats, and that there is
already perfect understanding to that
effect between them and the republican
leaders. In ether words. that for eelhsh
greed they will allow the republicans to
make use of their followers as the means by
which to retain control Of tho State; and
that, too, though the democratic party,ff
its commencement down to the present
time, has been the acknowledged poor mans
party. Understanding is what the voters Of
this country stand most in need,

GENERAL MAHoNE says the national dem
ocratc party is opposed to the abolition of
the internal revenue tax, but that the ma
tional republican party is in favor of it, and
will abolish that tax if the people entiust
that party with the control of the govern
ment. In this he is correct And because
he is, is the best possible reason why every
right thinking man, and every man having
his own individual interest at heart, in the
State, should vote against the republican
party. There is no good reason why the
tax should not be removed from tobacco, and
why tobacco growers should not be allowedto
sell their crop to whom they please; but
there is every reason why the tax on oleo-
margarine and whisky should not bere
ed, especially as such q removal would ne
cessitate the continuance of the existing tex
on the prime necessaries of life.

WooLFOLK,s KNIFE.
He Intended to Cut His Way Out of
Jail


Macon (Ga.) Cor. atlanta Constitution, Nop 10.
This afternoon Jailer Birdsong turned out
eight prisoners, to have counsel assigned
for them ut the court house. Tom Wool
folk was not of the number, us his counsel
had already been employed. AS soon as
they had left the jailer heard an ominous
rubbing and scrLping on the floor
OF Wooifoiks cell. Calling to Mrs.
Vincent, his mother-in-law, who lives
with the family, he asked her to watch the
outside doors, and slipping into the jail, he
locked the door bahnd him. and
crept softly upstairs. Peeping into Wool
folks cell, he discovered him lneelng on
the floor Of his cell scraping on the floor
with a piece Of iron rod. Going down
again he unlocked the door, so as to deceive
Ramage and Kitchen, the two prisoners
who occupied the cells adjoining Wool
folks. Slipping up stairs again lie found
Ramage with his head craued over the top
of the closet, apparently talking TO Wool
folk He asked Ramage what was he up to.
and took both parties completely by sur
prise. Going down he went in search
of help, and soon secured an as
Ramage and Kitchen TO the cage. A
short while prior to this Ramage sent the
Jailcr a note which read: Mr. Birdsong
If you will put me over with Jones and Mr.
Parker, | will tell you something that may
do you good by it. r. II, I;amage" After
their detection Ramage told Birdsong that
Tom had a two-bladel knife So soon ms
the first two were searched and removed,
their cells were gone through in a careful
manner in the top of the water closet,
connected with similar one in Woofolks
cell, large hole, nearly big enough to ad-
init the body Of a man. was found. together
with some pieces of wire. IL was evident
that he intended 10 get into the cell with
Tom at the proper time.
The marks OF saw were plainly
visible OF the bars of the window
opening nto the Jail yard. Toms cell door
was then unlocked, and the jailer, with
little trouble found the crooked iron hook
on which the cots are hung when turned up.

mot FIT FoR FISH BAIT"
Why George r. Shine Sues George D.
Smith for $4,000.
From the Macon (Ga-) Telegraph.


From the Macon (Ga) Telegraph
Among the damage suits filed in the City
Court is the following:
Mr.. George r. Shine claims through his
attorneys c. c. Richardson and Steed 81
Kimberly, that Mr.. George ID. Smith,
conductor on the Southwestern railroad,
has damaged him in the sum of $1,000 by
falsely and maliciously saying of aud con-
corning him on Aug. II, 1887, the follow
ing false and malicious words That petit
toner had two living wives; that be, the
said Smith, knew of his own knowledge
that your petitioner had one wife; and that
he the said Smith, had been informed from
reliable sources that your petitioner had
MARRIED ANOTHER WIFE
while your petitioner was in Florida; and
that your petitioner was not 1T for fish
bait
This estimate of Mr.. Shine was made in
the presence and hearing Of ono w. II. Nc
Cullohs, and was said on train on the
Southwestern road about the time the train
passed Byron, where petitioner used to live.
McCullohs asked Smith if he knew Shine,
and Smith said he did and asked what Shine
was then doing. McCullohs said he was
flying around with the ladies and having a
good time generally. 1t was here that
Smith made use of the language which
The petitioner shows that these words
were derogatory to his fair name and repu-
tation, and greatly injured him in the COM
munity where he was then living, the more
especially from the reason that he was com
paratlvely new conner. AT that time pc
titioner had won the affections of a young
lady, and il was his purpose and expectation
TO marry her, and the marriage was booked
for an early day. But, by the aforesaid
-
young lady was induced to break off her
intended marriage with petitioner, and,
through the influence of her parents, who
We're controlled by the SANDERS aforesaid,
she was led 10 reject his suit and depose him
from the proud seat on the throne of her
affections, whereby petitioner lost the value
of said marriage, and was greatly wounded
and grieved in his feelings and his personal
happiness and p ace of mind.
And the petitioner further saws that by
means of making such charges he has been
and is greatly injured in his good name,
fame and credit, and brought into public
scandal, infaTny and disgrace, with and
amongst his neiehbors and other
good people. insomuch that divers
of those neighbors to whom the inno-
cence and integrity of petitioner in the
premises were unknown, have on account Of
the committing of said grievances by de
IeLuojiJ ~ dlol tottlu, lIOui ts@tlCo HlbueIJO
suspected and believed, and do still suspect
and believe petitioner to be guilty Of the
crime of bigamy, or polygamy, and Of being
a deceiver and cheat, and unworthy of 8
place in society: and by reason of said
grievance have from thence hitherto afore-
said, and do still refuse to have any transac-
ton, acquaintance or discourse with petit
toner, as they were accustomed hitherto to
have, and would otherwise have. And also
by reason thereof, petitioner has lost mar
riage which he was TO have had"
